Re: WIP. Harley-davidson 1/6 tamiya

Really nice build so far!

What paint have you used? It really suits the bike and the satin black engine cases makes it look fresh. I've got the sidecar version which I've painted already but I went for the old biege/brown two-tone and wished I hadn't now. May have to strip it back and respray!

Beautiful work. I did the FXE1200 about 10 years ago. Really want to do another one down the road. Would also like to do a few other bikes in 1/6.

Cheers! I'm liking that colour more and more. I was hoping to use car spray paints but couldn't find anything that deep and rich in my local auto paint shop.

Did you Alclad part of the exhaust? How much of the chrome did you replace with paint?
